Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice. In its more restricted contemporary sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes called experimental science to differentiate it from applied science—the application of scientific research to specific human needs—although the two are often interconnected. Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work. The methods of scientific research include the generation of hypotheses about how phenomena work, and experimentation that tests these hypotheses under controlled conditions. Scientists are also expected to publish their information so other scientists can do similar experiments to double-check their conclusions. The results of this process enable better understanding of past events, and better ability to predict future events of the same kind as those that have been tested. From Wikipedia under the

Hi, Mathematics and computer science are not natural sciences, applied sciences (technology) or social sciences. So, what kind of sciences are they? I found out that they may belong to constructive sciences or formal science but I am not sure. please do not answer with links. Thanks. Asked by survey taker - Mon Jul 30 01:30:47 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Mathematics, which is sometimes classified within a third group of science called formal science, has both similarities and differences with the natural and social sciences.[2] It is similar to empirical sciences in that it involves an objective, careful and systematic study of an area of knowledge; it is different because of its method of verifying its knowledge, using a priori rather than empirical methods.[4] Formal science, which also includes statistics and logic, is vital to the empirical sciences. Major advances in formal science have often led to major advances in the physical and biological sciences. The formal sciences are essential in the formation of hypotheses, theories, and laws,[5] both in discovering and describing how… [cont.] Answered by research_student09 - Mon Jul 30 05:30:08 2007 How to setup a Science lab for a preschooler in home ? Q. I have a basement and I would like to setup a mini science lab for my 4 yr old. Nothing outlandish, I would basically like to setup a play area for her where she can play with sand, water, do some mini science experiments with everyday objects but not making the basement too messy. How can I setup one without making it a construction project using concrete etc... Thanks for your suggestions Asked by Cheers2U - Thu Jun 26 14:53:57 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Just have laminate flooring, or cover floor in washable blankets-like ones used for camping! This way mess doesnt matter. You can have cork boards on the walls for her to stick pictures and things up-also stops mess getting on walls. You can have things like: -as you said sand and water tray-maybe some boxes with buckets, spades, jugs, sponges, pipes (you can buy from DIY stores) etc so she can choose what to use and combine equipment. -Nature area: maybe plants or things she's collected from outside so she can see science in the natural world-eg growth of a flower! Or you can make a worm farm or ant farm to watch. -Living creatures-similar to above-maybe fish or giant land snails for her to watch and care for. -HAve messy play such as… [cont.] Answered by Bittersweet22 - Thu Jun 26 16:49:18 2008 Is Computer Science considred a quantitative major for finance jobs?
Q. I want to work in investment banking/ finance after college, and was wondering if Computer Science would be a good quantitative major for an undergraduate degree. Ultimately, I want to get an MBA right after or at least a Masters of Finance degree before I start working. Asked by Ali R - Sun Jun 1 16:10:07 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I agree with the first answer. I would encourage you to go for your MBA in finance. Have a great day! Answered by Herbert - Sun Jun 1 16:22:43 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Science" Science in the broadest sense refers to any system of objective knowledge. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge humans have gained by such research.
